Vintage 1940s wool suit is a wonderfully warm caramel color. I am a huge fan of this hue, it pairs fabulously with both bright spring hues as well as autumnal lipstick and accessories, so it will see you through three seasons of the year. Impeccably tailored during wartime, this suit features lightly padded shoulders, a collarless neckliness and fantastic trapunto work on both the chest. The skirt is gored a-line style with deep center pleat, closing with a sturdy metal bell zipper. The jacket is lined, the skirt is not.

This suit is clean and ready to wear. Upon close inspection, I found three minor instances of surface mothing. There is one true hole in the skirt, very conveniently located on the inside of a pleat, where it will never be seen except with held stretched out to the light for examination. The suit wears beautifully, I find no other issues to note!

About

Since 2008, FabGabs has been about slow fashion and clothes with a sense of history. We have a bias toward silhouettes from 1935 to 1947, and a penchant for quality clothing with beautiful details, as early as Victorian and as late as the early 1960s. We believe that preserving vintage clothing and offering wearable fashions from past eras is an environmentally responsible approach to personal style.
